Angola Grander Blue Marlin

Small boats rule!

Angola Grander Blue Marlin

Some more pics of the sensational Angola Grander Blue Marlin taken this week. This time off Lobito in Angola, and yes again, on a small 21ft ski-boat type vessel.

This one made it to the scales however and it came in at 497kgs!

Inside the huge marlin, was a sailfish, estimated at about 25kg’s…mmm, using sailfish for a livebait?!

It seems to be a good time to go hunting for 1000 pounders!

Thanks to Sardine scribe Marc Lange on the spot in Angola, for the pics and details.

Sailfish remains from the stomach of said marlin

And while we are in the marlin mood, check out the video linked below, of an Angolan Blue Marlin chasing the teasers and giving them more than one go. This is another huge fish that also seems intent on growing over the mark.
